Canada secured the direct Norceca berth to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games by defeating the Dominican Republic's "Reinas del Caribe" 3-1 (25-15, 20-25, 25-23, 25-14) in a match played on Saturday at the Palacio del Voleibol. The victory marks Canada's return to Olympic volleyball for the first time since the Atlanta 1996 Games.

Following the defeat, the Dominican Republic team left the venue without the direct Olympic ticket, having stumbled in the Norceca tournament. However, the squad recovered a positive sense of morale despite the setback.

The Dominican Republic's path to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics now depends on two remaining qualification routes, requiring the team to rely on the upcoming World Championship and world ranking calculations.
